Pre-University Preparation
If you are in high-school, examinations are a fact of life. Why should you find yet another test, the SAT, daunting? In our experience working with hundreds of students of every ability level, we have encountered three common reasons. The first is the duration: while most high-school examinations are sprints, the SAT, at a staggering three hours, is a marathon. This is not just a test of concentration, but mental endurance.
The second is content. In high school, if you study Organic Chemistry, you can expect to be tested on your knowledge of Organic Chemistry. The SAT, in contrast, is designed to test fundamental quantitative and qualitative skills – independent of topic. So, if the SAT is a marathon, you are running in the dark.
Finally, there is the purpose. Too often, students have hazy ideas about what scores they should be targeting and do not appreciate the vital benchmarking role that the SAT serves in university admissions. Consequently, many do not start the requisite training in time, or struggle to stay motivated once they start.
We created our SAT Preparation curriculum to help you approach this unconventional and unfamiliar assessment with confidence and resolve.

Our curriculum, continuously refined by subject-matter experts, is not static. It is a never-ending project: as the SAT changes, we change with it; as new technologies emerge, we upgrade our pedagogy. A decade of experience, however, has highlighted a core of common principles that cut across all our SAT preparation courses.
The SAT is not a test which can be solved by memorizing a few special techniques. We focus instead on training the fundamental pre-college skills that the creators of the SAT intend to assess. That does not mean picking up a few last-minute tricks, but rather developing the ability to dissect complex rhetoric, craft effective sentences, and scrutinize mathematical expressions.
There is no substitute for the real thing. All our instruction is grounded in real SAT examples that reveal the nuances of each question type. In classes, instructors lead first, showing students how an expert would approach the test; thereafter, students build up their mental muscle-memory by working on real SAT problems themselves – with the instructor there to correct, encourage, and clarify.
Our online-offline classes allow students to participate from a distance or in-person. Between and beyond classes, IvyPrep’s proprietary online learning platform provides an extensive practice test and homework library to ensure that students reinforce their learning, as well as personalized feedback reports to help students focus their revision on topics where they stand to gain the most.
Over the last decade, we have propelled more than a thousand students to tangible improvements in their college-level verbal and quantitative reasoning abilities – and, as a consequence, helped increase their SAT scores.
